Via Merulana is steeped in history and culture, offering visitors a captivating journey through the layers of Rome's past. As you wander along this ancient thoroughfare, you'll be transported back in time to the days of the Roman Empire, passing by architectural marvels and archaeological wonders at every turn.
At one end of Via Merulana stands the majestic Basilica of St. John Lateran, considered the oldest basilica in the Western world and the cathedral of Rome. Its imposing façade and grand interior house priceless works of art and relics, inviting visitors to marvel at centuries of religious devotion and architectural brilliance.
Continuing your stroll, you'll encounter the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, a true gem of Romanesque and Baroque architecture. Inside, intricate mosaics narrate biblical stories with breathtaking detail, while the ornate chapels and sacred relics offer a glimpse into the spiritual heritage of the city.
But Via Merulana's charm doesn't end with its religious landmarks. Along the way, you'll discover hidden courtyards, quaint piazzas, and artisan workshops where traditional crafts have been practiced for generations. Each cobblestone step is a testament to the enduring legacy of Rome, inviting you to uncover the stories etched into its ancient walls and bustling streets.
In essence, Via Merulana is more than just a street—it's a living museum where history, culture, and tradition converge, offering visitors a truly immersive experience in the heart of the Eternal City.
Monti District: the Roman version of old Soho. In Rome, Monti is that place, and the connection is a fair one - although what Monti lacks in advertising agencies and mustachioed tech bros, it makes up for in creative enclaves, smoky bars and delicious places to eat.
Nestled right in the heart of the city, edged up by Trajan's market to the west, and the Quirinale to the north, the long thin streets are packed with art galleries, vintage shops, international boutiques and unusual menus.
This is where young Romans are flocking to live, and where creative innovation can be felt in a city that sometimes feels reserved for tourists seeking the old.
Head to the Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, grab a beer and sit watching the exuberant flirting round the fountain. For dinner, try Urbana 47 for new dishes, and Taverna La Romana for traditional pasta, before getting a late-night cocktail at one of the two Black Market bars.
